If you are considering a breast augmentation procedure, you probably have many questions. Dr. Stephanie Beidler Teotia gives you answers to commonly asked questions.
Q: How long will I be under general anesthesia for a breast augmentation?
A: The typical case takes a little over an hour. Patients go home the same day.
Q: I’m looking for suggestions for the most comfortable post-op bra.
A: I ask my patients to wear a sports bra (no underwire) for 6 weeks after surgery. This is to reduce swelling. Patients often select sports bras that close in the front.
A: I see my breast augmentation patients one week following surgery. During this visit, I review the surgery and discuss how to perform breast massaging. I then clear patients for all activities at a 6-week post-op appointment. I like to see patients at 3 and 6 months as well. Long-term follow-up is always encouraged.
Q: When is it okay to resume taking fish oil supplements after a breast augmentation?
A: Patients may resume their supplements one week after surgery.
Q: Can you recommend a scar cream or gel I can apply post-op?
A: I suggest using Biocorneum for scars. It is a topical silicone gel treatment which includes a SPF 30 and has been tested by the FDA. The gel helps soften, flatten, and lighten scars. It is water resistant, and make-up can be worn over the gel.
Dr. Teotia and her staff were amazing through the entire breast augmentation process. They answered all of my questions and were more than happy to do so. Their customer service is unparalleled! I love the finished process and would not change any part of the entire process!
After losing a considerable amount of weight I needed help desperately. Dr. Teotia took over Dr. Brown’s patients upon his death. I was made to feel very comfortable from the start. Dr. Teotia and her staff are wonderful! I would definitely recommend her practice if you are in need of compassionate care with great results.
Dr. T and her staff are like family! I’m so happy with my results and will definitely be a repeat client.
As a patient of Dr. Teotia, I would recommend her to anyone in need of cosmetic surgery or procedure. Dr. Teotia’s credentials and experience are impressive. Dr. Teotia and her staff make you feel very special and take any amount of time needed to answer questions or needs. Dr. Teotia’s combination of experience and empathy are a unique combination which made my surgery a wonderful experience.
Dr. Stephanie Teotia and her Nurse Audrey are AWESOME ! I am a Surgical Nurse & CNOR (Certified Nurse Operating Room) and I have worked with this great team in a Surgery many times! Not only do I have the greatest respect for Dr. Stephanie and Audrey, but several OR Nurses at Baylor Sugicare, including myself are Dr . Teotia’s patients! Dr. Stephanie Teotia has a precise focus for surgical perfection and excellent quality care for her patients! I would highly recommend Dr. Stephanie Teotia to any of my friends and colleagues in the DFW metroplex!
Dr. Teotia is an excellent physician! She is very professional and cares about her patients.
Dr. Teotia you are amazing!! I could not be happier with my results today. I am a patient for life and I will recommend you to everyone. Thank you so much.
Dr T is an amazing person! I know her from wayyyy back. She does excellent work and is so intelligent. You will feel so comfortable in her capable hands – she is so personable, generous and skilled.
Professional, highly skilled, easy to work with, confidence booster in both self esteem and procedure.
Dr. Teotia is wonderful. She and her staff explained everything thoroughly and made sure I was comfortable during the procedure. the whole (Cellfina) process from beginning to end was a little under 2 hours. Dr. Teotia followed up with me the next day and made sure I didn’t need anything or have any questions.
A doctor who is gifted technically and an angel emotionally. A staff that has so much love to give, you leave looking forward to coming back. Dr Teotia says breast reconstruction isn’t just a procedure, it is a partnership. And those are not just words. She really means it. I had an infection 3 days before Thanksgiving and she was going out of town. She said that if it didn’t clear up quickly and my chest expander had to come out, she would fly home early to do it. She wouldn’t leave something so traumatic to a doctor on call that I didn’t know. THAT is something you won’t hear from any other doctor. When you call after hours, you don’t get an answering service. Someone from the office has the phone and you get someone you know and who knows you immediately. Even on weekends. As for my breasts, I had one reconstructed after a nipple saving mastectomy and the other done to match. You cannot tell the difference between them. After all the horrifying pictures I saw on the Internet, I never dreamed I would have breasts that not only looked good, but that I am proud of. She is the best.
Dr Teotia is thoughtful, takes her time, and answered all my questions very thoroughly. From initial consultation, to the procedure and follow up appointment, each encounter I had with her was outstanding. I didn’t feel rushed, judged, or intimidated by her which is pretty hard because she’s a plastic surgeon! Very cool doctor!
Incredibly professional, warm, and comforting.
The doctor was very professional & I sensed that she would do a great job on my face. I felt zero pain which I was a little anxious about. She made me feel totally relaxed, I’m definitely going again.
Dr. TEOTIA is fantastic! Great bedside manner! Very conversational, professional and most of all compassionate. You can tell she’s a pro! She delivers the process with as little pain as possible (if any – in fact, I didn’t feel it)! A+++!! And lastly, she’s AWESOMELY FUN!
In addition to a fantastic Physician, you have her team of Michelle’s! They are awesome! I felt like I was with friends I never knew instantly (and now we ARE friends!)!
You can’t go wrong here!!! May God Bless your practice and team Dr. T!
I recently worked with Dr. Teotia and her team off Cedar Springs. Professional, fun, and encouraging are just a few words that inadequately describe the talents of this team! I got exactly what I wanted with excellent results! Great products and great people! I will definitely go back when it’s time!
From the initial consultation to the post op visit, I could not have asked for a better experience.
Dr. Teotia is the consummate professional. She spent over an hour discussing my options regarding the type of implant, size, expectations, etc. I am a registered nurse so I was more than comfortable with the discussions I had not only with the doctor, but Michelle, the patient care coordinator, regarding the fees, scheduling, and basic hand holding! My new implants are amazing and the lower profile is much more pleasing aesthetically speaking. My recovery was very smooth, with little discomfort. I went back to work 4 days after my surgery. I traveled from Midland to Dallas Texas (5.5 hrs.) to have Dr. Teotia perform my surgery and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone! I will upload a current photo very soon to show off my lovely new implants!
Dr. Teotia was great and made me feel very comfortable from start to finish.
My experience at Uptown was Great, couldn’t have asked for a smoother visit, from my pre-admission visit that they got me in right away for to the day of surgery. I also wanted to say that my visit to Dr. Teotia’s office before time of surgery was so personable, they treat everyone like friends. Michelle, the patient coordinator was so easy to talk to and very thorough putting me at ease and very understanding when I was being undecided. Dr. Teotia was wonderful.
Hope they know, how great they are and Uptown as well.
Everyone was so professional at Uptown, made our experience great. Can’t forget to mention, Michelle, Dr. Teotia’s Surgery coordinator is the best, she answered all my questions and was available even when she didn’t need to be, she made sure everything went smoothly. Audrey, Dr. Teotia’s Nurse was also great and made me feel at ease. Dr. Teotia and her staff are Amazing!
Dr Teotia and her staff are amazing. I knew that she was the one to perform my revision as soon as I met her. Michelle, her surgery coordinator is the best. She got me in right away and went above and beyond helping me get my surgery scheduled the same week. She answered questions 24/7 and made sure everything went perfectly. Audrey, Dr Teotia’s nurse, is also wonderful. She is very comforting, sweet and hands on. I knew immediately upon consulting with Dr Teotia that she was “the one”. Her attention to detail is superb. I have a messy history with breast implants and she took into consideration every bit of information I gave her. I’m only 2 weeks out but know I’m going to be happy with her work. She cleaned up an old scar and left me looking and feeling more confident. I can’t recommend Dr Teotia and he staff enough. You will not be disappointed on any level. They are professional, easy to talk to and make you feel “at home”. Not to mention, I found their prices to be very reasonable.
Dr. Teotia and staff are wonderful! The atmosphere at the clinic is relaxed and they all take care of you every step of the way. Results look natural and Dr. Teotia always puts safety first.
I came to Dr. Teotia with expanders in, one leaking and one not fully expanded. She and her team treated me like a human being with great care and respect. I still can’t believe she took me on as a patient. I had my reconstruction a week ago and I believe Dr. Teotia did everything possible given the horrible situation I presented her with. I felt sympathy and comfort at my post op visit and so regret that I had not found her at the time I discovered I had breast cancer. If I had, I know, I would look beautiful without a doubt.
I originally found Dr. Teotia from the realself website and I was impressed with her reviews. After meeting and getting my breast augmentation surgery performed by her I can see why she is so highly rated!!! I absolutely love her!! She is extremely easy to talk to and so personable. This was my first surgery I ever had and she made me feel at ease. I could not have asked for a smoother experience. The new breasts look great, too!! I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone interested in getting breast implants.
Dr. Stephanie Teotia was my first choice for continuing my botox in Dallas after moving here from Denver. I highly recommend Dr. Teotia for all of your cosmetic and surgical needs as her office has an array of services and specialties far beyond just injection treatments.
Dr. Teotia’s assistant Michelle is kind and very positive when I came in for my consult and treatment. Michelle’s expertise, friendliness and ability to listen to what I was looking to obtain is what makes this office stand out and why I continue to return.
Dr. Teotia herself was extremely professional and listened to what I was wanting to achieve. Her recommendations and ability to give me the exact results I was looking for in my first treatment makes me happy and willing to refer to my friends and family.
Dr. Teotia is very professional and took the time to listen to my past, wants and needs and what I was expecting after the treatment. I truly felt she cared and listened during the consult, 7 days later and it shows because I am extremely happy with the amount and placement by Dr. Teotia.
Dr. Teotia is wonderful injector! The procedure was very quick and completely painless which is due to her technique and attention to detail. She was also mindful on where to emphasize her injections since I am a man. She wanted it to look subtle, which it certainly does. I am extremely satisfied. In addition, her office is very nice and pleasant to be in. Her staff is extremely friendly and helpful, as is Dr. Teotia. It was a great experience all around.
Dr. Teotia was always very thorough in her explanation of my procedure. She was always concerned and slow to speak to in order to ensure she was covering all the bases, making it easy for me to understand.
Karen was amazing! She was very informative throughout the entire procedure and how to proceed further with my healthcare. Karen went above and beyond by helping me understand other options for future procedures.
Dr. Stephanie Beidler Teotia is an excellent physician! Dr. Beidler Teotia is friendly and cordial. She seems to take a personal interest in her patients. Dr. Beidler Teotia thoroughly explained the Botox procedure before giving me the Botox injections. She answered all the questions I had about the procedure. I am happy to report that I am very pleased with the results of the Botox injections! We drove from Midland, Texas for this appointment with Dr. Beidler Teotia and will do so again in the future. Thank you Dr. Beidler Teotia for being such a great doctor!
I was referred to Dr. Teotia from my retiring plastic surgeon. always a bit uneasy having to change doctors though Dr. Teotia was wonderful, professional yet warm and caring. I felt completely at ease with her from the start. I will definitely be referring her to my friends.
Dr. Teotia is absolutely amazing! She’s so friendly and easy to talk to – you feel like you’re talking with a family friend! What I loved is she gave me the pros/cons about every thing – I had done my research but she wanted to make sure she gave me ALL the information so that I was completely informed, and I really appreciate that. I walked into her office with 40+ questions, and they were all answered. Also, all of the nurses that work in her office are wonderful…very nice, welcoming and treat you like a friend. I’ve had the best experience I could ask for, thanks to Dr. Teotia and her team!
Professional, Knowledgable, Friendly… and Amazing Results
Dr. Teotia is a delight! She is always patient and interested in listening to my areas of concern. She goes through the pros and cons of different options with me so I can make the best decision based on my needs. Dr. Teotia makes no attempt to rush through the appointment! What I love most about her is the fact that she does not “OVER DO” anything. I am all about a natural appearance and I just needed some rejuvenation and freshness. She accomplished that and I am very pleased with the results. This area of expertise is delicate and under the wrong Plastic Surgeon could be a disaster. We’ve all seen them! I enjoyed ‘ALL” of her staff as well. I trust Dr. Teotia with my care and even traveled just to see her. She is my choice for helping me look on the outside the way I feel on the inside.
Always listening on a personal level. Everything is handled with excellence! Cares deeply for her patients.
Working with Dr Teotia and her staff was my first experience with a plastic surgeon. I was nervous about my first time getting Botox injections in my forehead; mainly about how it would turn out and if it was something I was even ready for. I loved the results and how much more confident it made me feel about myself! I can’t wait to go back and do it again. The staff was so sweet and informative about what to expect with the procedure and Dr Teotia really listened to me and respected my wishes, giving me exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!!
I had initially gotten a breast augmentation to even things out, so to speak. I have scoliosis, which causes nearly everything in my upper body to be disproportional. I was never completely satisfied with the outcome and envisioned myself getting them redone later in life. A little over two years after my first augmentation one of my saline implants ruptured and left me disproportional once again. I went in to see Dr. Teotia and knew right away that this experience would be much better than the last. She worked with me and listened to what I wanted as well as offered the best advice on not only a professional level, but woman to woman. She spoke to me like a person, not just another patient. She was honest with me about what to expect and worked with me towards a goal that we could both be happy with. The outcome went above and beyond my expectations. I’m thrilled with the results and am confident that I will not run into any issues like what I’ve experienced previously. I’m eternally grateful for Dr. Teotia as well as her staff for making my experience so pleasant and helping me regain confidence in my body.
I have been a patient of Dr. Stephanie Beidler Teotia for the last two years. Dr.Teotia is an excellent physician. She is very knowledgeable, kind and cares about her patients. I am very happy with the results of the facial procedures performed by Dr.Teotia. I heartily recommend Dr.Teotia to anyone who is considering having plastic surgery. You will be very pleased with the results.
I really enjoyed my experience at Dr. Teotia’s office. The atmosphere and the staff really made me feel so comfortable. I can’t wait to go back for more! Thanks again to Dr. Teotia and her staff for all of their help!
I had Juvederm Plus and Restylane a couple of weeks ago in Dr. Teotia’s office. I absolutely LOVED how the results where immediate. I literally went from looking tired to well rested with my one visit to her office. I’m ready for more!!! Best thing I’ve done in a long time, and to top it off the staff is professional, kind and make you feel at home, the experience was fantastic!!!!
I had a breast augmentation with a mastopexy, and I am so thrilled with my results, just one week later! I had very little pain and swelling. My overall recovery has gone very smoothly. I couldn’t be happier with my results thus far. The staff here made my experience that much better. They make you feel right at home and comfortable. Dr. Teotia is amazing and very meticulous. I felt like she understood exactly what I wanted and delivered on her work. My surgery went exactly as planned and now I have the breasts I always dreamed of!
I had a breast augmentation with silicone implants by Dr. Teotia on March 22nd, 2013. I am 5 days post op and could not be more pleased with my results. Dr. Teotia made me feel extremely comfortable about undergoing this surgical procedure and her staff was more than helpful. She was very thorough and gave me realistic expectations, which was very impressive. I would recommend Dr. Teotia to anyone considering cosmetic or reconstructive surgery. Thank you Dr. Teotia!
After a 180 pound weight loss, I began the search for a plastic surgeon to remove excess skin from many areas of my body. It was important to me to find a surgeon who would take the time to listen to what I was looking for and the results I expected. It was also imperative that they had experience with body contouring with patients that had extreme weight loss.
From my initial consultation with Dr. Teotia, I was completely struck by the fact that her primary concern is the very best result for her patients. Her demeanor is indescribable – I can only say that you will feel her sincere concern for your well-being as I did. Upon my examination, I knew immediately that she was going to be my plastic surgeon.
With all of my surgeries – brachioplasty, mastopexy, bra line back lift, and abdominoplasty – I woke up to very little pain and a whole new body! Dr. Teotia’s sensitive, bed side manner always put me at ease! Her friendly & caring staff were always there to answer questions and assist however necessary.
I felt completely comfortable and confident in Dr. Teotia and her talents as a skilled surgeon, a gifted artist, and a perfectionist! I would highly recommend her!
A member for life.
Dr. Teotia is a wonderful compassionate person and that’s what makes her the perfect surgeon. She listens, advises and above all encourages. Her staff is the same way. What a warm and inviting place to have something done.
Awesome experience, they made me feel confident and made sure I was happy with everything, answered any question that was on my mind. Loved Dr. Teotia and her staff they were the sweetest ever.
We both saw Dr. Stephanie Teotia at different times for different reasons, but we share the same extremely high opinion of her work. She listened to our requests in a nonjudgmental manner, was subsequently attentive to our needs and professional in her services, and we both achieved the results we wanted. There is nothing else we could have asked from her or any other doctor.
Dr. Teotia did a chest lift for me then a neck and face lift. I then had injections. They did exactly as I was told. I experience nothing but joy as I look in the mirror.
My experience with Dr. Teotia was very positive. She answered all my questions and put me at ease. I had so many deep lines around my eyes that made me look old, certainly older than I felt. After visiting her office my whole attitude got a facelift! Every morning when I look in the mirror, I am so glad I went forward with the changes — now I look as young as I feel and have never regretted my decision. Thank you Dr. Teotia!
Superior surgical expertise, meticulous, compassionate, and caring were all the things I was looking for in a plastic surgeon. After conferring with my fellow nursing colleagues– Dr. Teotia received high marks in all these areas. Now having been her patient for the past two years she has far exceeded my expectations in meeting these qualities. She is the best and I highly recommend her.

Dr. Teotia is amazing. She took care of me during one of the most difficult times in my life. She does not treat you as a patient, she treats you has a person and a women.
She not only minimized and took away the scars that breast cancer had given me, she made me feel and look like a women again through the beast reconstruction surgery. She paid attention to every little detail and she kept my wants and needs in consideration through the whole journey. She truly cares about her patients and it shows from the first consult visit through the hug at the last follow up visit. I am truly blessed God allowed her to help me through my journey.
Dear Dr. Stephanie Beidler-Teotia,
May I first say that we wish you life’s very best with continued good health, along with great success!
I have been blessed not only to have a gifted surgeon, but a beautiful soul to care for my well being. You took the best care of me during my double mastectomy. My, our, minds and hearts were always at rest knowing I was getting the best of care from the day of consultation up to my surgery date, and to each weekly visit for my expander fills.
Thank you for using your gifted hands and heart for others.
A surgeon passionate about her work and her patients. She took the time to really listen to what my wishes were and strived to meet that objective with realistic expectations. Maintaining contact directly with me throughout my procedures instilled complete confidence in her abilities.
